Movement Specialist · Columbia, MO
Recover the tissue. Then train it to last.
Most people get stuck in the gap between “not in pain anymore” and “actually strong again.” As a movement specialist in Columbia, MO, I close that gap — pairing SoftWave recovery with progressive strength and mobility coaching so you move well and stay that way.
What's a Movement Specialist?
Think of it as the missing link between medical care and the gym. When you're hurt, you see someone to get out of pain. When you're healthy, you see a trainer to get strong. But there's a no-man's-land in between — you're cleared to move, but you're not truly ready — and it's where most people re-injure, plateau, or just quietly give up on the activities they love.
That's the space I specialize in. I use SoftWave to help your tissue recover, then coach you through the progressive strength and mobility work that rebuilds real, lasting capability. Not a machine run over a sore spot — a plan that takes you all the way back to doing what you want to do.
A note on lanes: I'm your movement and strength coach, not a substitute for medical diagnosis or care. I work alongsideyour providers — picking up where treatment leaves off and carrying you back to full function.
How It Works
Recover, rebuild, repeat — the MOLO Method
Calm the tissue
We start with a movement evaluation and SoftWave sessions to reduce pain and inflammation and kick-start your body's own recovery — so you can actually train without fighting a flare-up.
Rebuild the strength
Then we layer in progressive strength and mobility coaching — the right load, the right movements, at the right time — to turn freshly-recovered tissue into durable, resilient movement.
Make it last
You leave with the movement quality, the strength, and the home program to keep the results. Restore the tissue, then train it to hold up.
Who I Work With
This is for you if…
You finished PT, but you don't feel ready
Your pain calmed down and you got discharged — but nobody rebuilt your strength for real life. That gap between "not hurting" and "actually resilient" is exactly where I work.
You're coming back from an injury
An old shoulder, a cranky knee, a back that flares up. We calm the tissue with SoftWave, then progressively load it so it can handle what you ask of it again.
You've hit a plateau
You train hard but keep grinding into the same nagging spots. Often it's a movement or mobility limitation, not effort. We find it and fix the pattern underneath.
You want to keep moving well for the long haul
Active adults who'd rather stay ahead of pain than chase it. We build the strength, mobility, and control that keep you doing what you love.
Why It's Different
Not a gym. Not a clinic. Both, on your side.
More than a personal trainer
A typical trainer starts loading you up and hopes the pain sorts itself out. I start with the tissue — using SoftWave to address why it hurts — before we ever chase a number.
Focused on how you move
This isn't about maxing lifts. It's about restoring clean, pain-free, capable movement — then building strength on top of a foundation that actually holds.
Recovery and training under one roof
Most people bounce between a clinic for their pain and a gym for their strength. Here it's one coordinated plan — the MOLO Method — so the two finally work together.
